Back on the Beat

You know, I woke up this morning and said to myself 'gee, I think I should get back to work.' And if you think it's weird (and a bit geeky) how I talk to myself, well, you just don't know me that well.

I was back at the morning skate today with the rest of the regular folks, and got some good info for you, the loyal reader. Can't wait to share it with you. Really. No, I mean that.

THE NEWS: As has been reported, David Booth has been recalled from Rochester and Rob Globke is back with the Americans. Booth made it to the arena this afternoon and is expected to be in the lineup tonight.

-- Alex Auld back in net after taking Sunday night off.

-- Spoke with Todd Bertuzzi this morning; says he is still frustrated by the lack of healing on his surgically repaired back, although he says he sees a light at the end of the tunnel. When asked about JM's 4-8 weeks timetable, Todd was a bit standoffish.

-- Juraj Kolnik is out at least another week after apparently reinjuring his groin in a practice last week. That means a possible extended stay for Booth.
